Sabres turn to their core players

'“You’ve got some young players that obviously we are going to look to mature and fill that void,” Sabres coach Lindy Ruff said over the weekend. “We’ve got some players that have been around, that have a number of years under their belt. We’ve always said that that core group inside the room was a strong core. I said it’s going to be tough to replace, but we’re going to have to ask other young players to step in and fill bigger roles.”'
